Struggling to work

ayeshaohara · September 2015

Anyone else struggling to work? Between the all day nausea and extreme fatigue, work is tough. I'm not even on my feet (thankfully) but barely finding the energy to get through my days. I keep thinking, if I start taking sick days so early, I won't have any left when I might need them further down the track!

Wish I could nap!

Yes, but my struggle is not pregnancy related. $:\$ ">

It is my lunch break, I soo need to grade papers for progress reports, but here I am. I am just soo tired right now and it does not help we do not have air conditioning in our school, so it is hot as hell in here. Why cannot they not give us more time to grade?!

Me too!!! I can barely get up in the morning. I don't feel like eating or drinking, and I'm nauseated. I just want to sleep.

It's possible I just fell asleep in my office!!

I have a TON of homework for my masters's to do that is due tomorrow + a quiz tomorrow and all I can seem to do is nap right now.... I may have to give up and go to starbucks for a decaf pumpkin spice latte.

I had a meeting today so I have to stay late and make up some time. It doesn't help that I'm tired and slightly nauseous. I may just call it a day and login to work when I get home and make up the time.

I am really struggling! Im up all night getting sick and then as i get ready making constant trips dry heaving..then im late for work. Im on my feet all day with a rowdy class of 20 preschoolers and I can barely make it thru the day now. I hope it gets better with the morning sickness, but being a teacher while pregnant is no joke!

I'm in the same boat, except I have air conditioning. It's not optional for schools here in Texas! I've been a lot less productive than normal for sure. Thankfully it's my 3rd year teaching the same subject, so it's pretty easy for me to phone it in if I need to, but fearing never goes away....

Ugh, it won't let me edit. I meant grading, obviously.

I just experienced my first morning sickness episode... In the bathroom at our small law firm. Everyone could hear me running down the hall gagging.

Very embarrassing moment. I'm so tired and feel like it's impossible to stay awake, alert and focused. I just want to take a nap!!!! The worst part was that before I actual got sick, all I could think about was wanting to get morning sickness at least once so that I would feel like everything was normal because I felt like it was strange that I didn't feel nauseated or sick. I take that back!!!! @ayeshaohara I agree with you about taking the sick days. Nervous to take them now... But feel awful throwing up at work!!!

I just spent 15 min frantically looking for my keys so I could attempt to leave my office to get lunch. Of course, they were hanging around my neck. And now, I missed the window because I have the post-recess injury rush. Sigh.
